Thanks Spike, as always! I forgot to mention that i need to re-use it in FTE, so will FTE read my pfm file? Because otherwise it's better that I save the entire array of vectors into a text file.

Thanks a bunch Spike!

Yeah, fte can load pfm files as textures if needed (its not an extension that will be scanned for though).
If you're going to keep changing them then it may indeed be better to just use r_uploadimage on account of it working even if the image is already loaded.

K thanks. I'll definately try It when I have some free time. What about performance? How can FTE handle PFM textures instead of PNG / TGA? And how much performance hit can I have of use direcly RAW arrays of vectors to display something. I mean, not Just one, Imagine dozens
Thanks Spike for your great help

Taking a ride in the topic (read: completely derailling it)...

What would be the best approach to implement an interactive console in FTEQW ? I mean, imagine a computer terminal model (.bsp or .iqm) where I can dynamically render text and/or another room in the map (simulating a security camera, for example) I suppose this would require some GSL/shader fu, but I am a complete n00b and don't even know where to start. Directions please ?

Thanks Spike and tonnedu2000, I'll try it sometime during the weekend.
